GS. upgrade "Thread Rollover preview" poll - did you like it or was it irritating?

Jules · 21st February 2006

OK - did you like the thread rollover preview?

Or was it annoying?

Or don't care either way

That was the pop up window that displayed text from a thread when you moved the cursor / mouse over it..

Please keep this thread on topic and address other upgrade issues here...

It was annoying, but useful. Bring it back.

doorknocker · 21st February 2006

Absolutely hated it, please leave it out!

Mike O · 21st February 2006

If you put it back, make it so that the pop up is displayed as long as you are over the thread. Horrible to have it dissapear while reading it. It wouldn't be near as useful if people would name their threads in a useful manner.

cuttooth21 · 21st February 2006

I liked it. Can you make it an option?

TankT34 · 21st February 2006

I think the thread rollover preview was usefull- want it back !!!

Calfee Jones · 21st February 2006

Sometimes it was annoying, but overall I began to appreciate it. But with it gone right now I think I want it back!

mrface2112 · 21st February 2006

i really miss it. :(

I'm with Mike on this. Is display time an option?

Nice feature.

Agree...

dpianomn · 21st February 2006

bring 'er back!

parasitk · 21st February 2006

Again, it was very useful to get a preview of a thread, particularly a thread that's poorly titled! I'd like it back please!

**mwagener** · 21st February 2006

I thought it was annoying. Can it be made to be switched off/on by the user?

joeq · 21st February 2006

though I liked it at first, eventually I came to feel it was mildly annoying.

I was surprised by the poll results, since earlier all I heard was the complaints about it.

I guess you don't miss your water 'til your well runs dry

Brenton · 21st February 2006

Very annoying!

I am pretty damn sure it is a global option only and not user selectable..

i'm with Michael on that point, If I could turn in on and off at will that would work, found it annoying 95% of the time.

echorec · 21st February 2006

Annoying.

echorec · 21st February 2006

Annoying.

Scott Shane · 22nd February 2006

Yeah, I liked it. It was much easier to screen threads of interest to me, especially with the new posts function. A real timesaver.

celticrogues · 22nd February 2006

loved it and miss it

lofi · 22nd February 2006

i dont care...

but profile button in chat doesnt work

sedohr · 22nd February 2006

I found it irritating to begin with but now I miss it so, please bring it back, Jules!

Kalli

Kingtone · 22nd February 2006

slightly irritating at times.. but really miss it.
if the world learned how to label posts better.....

but agreed... needs to stay on as long as the cursor is over the title

jdunn · 22nd February 2006

Yes, it could be a little annoying, but it was one of my favorite features. I find myself wishing other web forums had it when surfing elsewhere.

David R. · 22nd February 2006

Liked it.

Miss it.

Makes me want to cry.

stevep · 22nd February 2006

It used to bother me and cover up the topic, then when you were reading it it would time out and disappear........

Now its gone i don’t know.................... ok leave it off

Steve

squeegybug · 22nd February 2006

Liked it a lot. Handy for classifieds too, see what the price is instead of waiting for the post to open. Unless it's buried after 100 lines of flowery buildup

If you don't want to see the preview I believe you can just move the mouse so it's not over a thread title.

Jules, what about a column to show when a thread was started, as well as when the last post was made? Lots of times I think it's a new one but then find it's a recently excavated dinosaur. Or maybe I should post this request elsewhere...
